Only with you, even a verbal agreement, can I truly trust and be certain of.
How did this trend of formalism spread here?
Besides, this isn't something that absolutely requires him.
"No problem, but have you thought of a better way to collect the Seeds of Light?"
Looking at the silver star in his hand, Du Jue felt a headache coming on. What if one day someone from a parallel universe suddenly attacked him with the same silver star?
Will we still be able to eat properly then?
He needs to go back to Smile Company and find experts to study the matter of Silver Star. At the very least, he should take the initiative and not hand over the initiative to a parallel universe.
I understand your reasoning, but if we don't use the simplest method of killing, the process becomes much more complicated.
Taking a deep breath, Du Jue bypassed the conflicted and uneasy Yuri and went to the French window. "It doesn't matter. I'll take care of it. If all else fails, I'll ask Galion to lend a hand. Anyway, she has nothing to do."
Watching the unrest spread through the streets, Du Jue still focused all his energy on his call with Angela. "Angela, thank you for being willing to change your course of action based on my ideas."
Through your previous battles, I discovered the unique place called the Mirror World, where the consciousness of urban dwellers is reflected, but killing it only causes them to have a nightmare.
Then it wouldn't be so difficult to retrieve the Seed of Light without killing anyone.
The library will automatically search for valuable targets; you need to make a lasting impression on them, for example, by beating them up.
Then I can locate the target's consciousness in the mirror world by the target's deep impression of you.
Then, a theft warning is sent to alert the target. The warning will cause the Seed of Light on the target to gather, which means that the danger level of the other party will increase.
All you need to do is sneak into the mirror world and steal some of the Seeds of Light from it.
However, if discovered, or if the other party experiences a significant emotional fluctuation, then a connection will occur.
"The connectivity phenomenon?"
Just like the Seed of Light being launched, it will briefly connect the target and its surrounding mirror world with reality. The target will likely experience a brief state similar to EGO Resonance, at which point it must be forcibly taken over.
If such a consciousness entity were killed, the person in reality would likely be unconscious for two or three days, and the memory of the nightmare would be extremely vivid.
Du Jue looked incredulous upon hearing this, never expecting such a bizarre move. So Angela was going to open a thief's library now? "I understand."
Suddenly, I wondered if the library could be considered a new workplace.
He was about to ask excitedly when he saw the building in the distance collapse with a crash. "Holy crap! What's going on? Yuri, didn't you see how chaotic it is outside? And you're still sitting leisurely on the bed!"
"Even working people should have professional ethics, okay?"

Chapter 288 Notice.
"It seems there are anti-company elements active."
Yuri looked hesitantly at the notification sent by the Second Association on the communicator. "The Association said it's those bug people from the former G Company, and there are even big bugs."
"What big bug?"
While I could suppress the nausea, I couldn't avoid the dizziness caused by the emotional ups and downs. Upon seeing the metal bug that had crushed the road, I was shocked and forced to calm down.
A steel cockroach with sharp saw blades swaggered forward, its enormous size smashing into the shops on both sides of the road, leaving even the leader of the group, Ge Zha, dumbfounded.
Du Jue asked Yuri, puzzled, "Can this kind of thing really be hand-made?"
"Such a large place will be subject to heavy taxes, so the workshop will probably lose money. I heard that a group of people who were secretly making counterfeit ghost money at home were shut down. Wings of the World is very strict in this regard."
Yuri also showed the photos she had taken.
Glancing at the room full of ghost money, Du Jue quickly said, "Pack up, we'll leave right away."
Hearing this, Yuri spread her hands, indicating that she had nothing to take with her, after all, she was so poor that she only had these few things left. "Lord Wendo, perhaps we should wait until those anti-company elements leave before we go?"
"Besides, you're a big shot, those people wouldn't dare to mess with you."
Du Jue couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Would a normal person just randomly give us money to get out of a predicament? And didn't you notice that the iron bug stopped?"
"Perhaps, we are their target."
When Yuri looked down, she indeed saw that the large metal worm had stopped and spread its insect-like elytra, revealing a large number of insect soldiers hidden inside, just like a Trojan horse.
They descended to the ground in an orderly fashion, following the cockroach's segments.
The two association members who wanted to get closer were all rendered helpless by the enormous steel monster.
[High-value targets detected – Hocoshough, Langdon.]
A screen of light unfolded in front of Du Jue, and Yuli, who was next to him, curiously peeked over. "Isn't this the scene downstairs?"
The giant metal cockroach on the right.
pat.
The military boots kicked away a man whose head was bleeding.
"Section Chief Landon, let's not harm civilians."
Huo Kexiao, who was standing nearby, waved and urged the man to leave quickly.
However, Langdon, who stood at the very front of all the insectoids, merely snorted coldly, his arms covered in gleaming mantis blades. "You mean these discriminators? Hokershaw, I heard from the brothers who came back that you were being bullied."
Huo Kexiao was about to say something when he was interrupted by his companions behind him, who complained about their previous experience.
"Don't worry, brothers!"
Langdon's sunburned red skin was particularly noticeable. "From now on, no one will dare to discriminate against us anymore. We will become collaborators of the Vacuum Fist!"
“We will soon be able to bring one of the members of the war tribunal to justice. That guy named Will will be enjoying watching us become a scoundrel.”
The insectoid man was immediately enraged.
"Only when his flesh and blood are imprinted on the entire road by tire tracks will the idiots in the city replace their prejudice with fear!"
The only one who didn't cheer, Huo Kexiao, looked around nervously and breathed heavily. "Landon... Section Chief, didn't the Minister say we would merge into Vacuum Fist? And Wendo is someone they really want, why didn't you inform the Minister?"
Snapped!
Langdon's right arm, wielded by an insect, slapped the unprepared Hokshaw to the ground. "The Vacuum Fist is nothing but trash who discriminates against us, trying to use us as cannon fodder. The minister is senile and can't see the situation anymore!"
"What if we kill Will as a pledge of allegiance, and then Vacuum Fist demands we take out Middle Thumb? We need bargaining chips! And we can't just stupidly become someone else's lackey!"
Huo Kexiao's right cheek was swollen, and he still hesitated before speaking: "But concealing military intelligence is a violation of company regulations."
Swish!
With blood streaming down his forehead, Hokshaw was abruptly pulled to his feet. Langdon embraced him, heartbroken, and then shouted to the insectoid soldier on his right, "Dali, who paid for your leg treatment?"
“It’s you, Section Chief.”
"Burkman, wasn't that the one I told you to cover for the minister about stealing the endorphins?"
"Yes."
Langdon then stared expressionlessly at the writhing Hokkershaw. "Kid, that barber who dared to humiliate you, he's dead meat, isn't he?"
Huo Kexiao nodded with difficulty, "But our limbs are indeed different from ordinary people, wouldn't doing that be too much..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped hard again.
"You ungrateful, selfish bastard! Why didn't you say a word when the brothers were in trouble? We've had enough of the discrimination and the incompetence of our superiors!"
Landon, furious and enraged, roared with veins bulging, “That damn minister is still obsessed with some smoke and haze war, leading us who trust him to scavenge for food like wild dogs.”
"Now, we can use that leverage to get a piece of territory, and even a lot of money and equipment, from Vacuum Fist. Forget about our past ministerships and reputations, we'll become a renowned gang in the back alleys!"
He excitedly pulled out a silver crystal no bigger than a fingernail and commanded the steel cockroaches to sweep away the group of Second Association members who were approaching.
However, Goza still led his team and forcefully cut off the cockroach's antennae with sharp serrations, quickly advancing.
"You know my strength! Now you understand my resolve. I am as strong and unyielding as steel, and from now on, I will not allow any dissenting voices in the team!"
crunch.
Nearby metal cash registers and pots and pans suddenly swarmed together in front of Langdon, forming a large, rough-looking clump of small cockroaches, whose mandibles could easily pierce through the stone bricks.
After calming down a bit, Langdon looked at Hokkoshaw on the ground. "Hokkoshaw, immediately lead your team to capture Wendo. This is a death order."
"Yes, section chief."
Huo Kexiao, barely managing to get up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and, with a dim gaze, stepped into the inn with a large group of fanatical insectoid soldiers.
The clear image disappeared along with the closing light screen.
Yuri, who had witnessed the whole thing, was dumbfounded. "Smell... Lord Smell, let's run away!"
She suddenly understood the true value of a 100 million eye-viewing daily wage.
Du Jue squinted at Langdon below. If he wasn't mistaken, that thing seemed to be Silver Star, only pitifully small compared to his own.
[Detection indicates Huo Kexiao has a strong impression of you. To prevent this, should we send him a theft warning letter now?]
"hair."
Do not attempt to follow this so-called theft procedure.
Furthermore, he needed to find out whether the Silver Star fragments were privately collected by the other party or were being secretly acquired by other gangs and companies.
"If the Silver Star Fragment has any other effects, why isn't it reacting when I hold it?"
Du Jue touched the silver star in his pocket, wondering if the chief was targeting him.
In short, he had to give this Langdon a proper welcome. It just so happened that the guy definitely had a bounty on him, and he could also collect the bounty from an association on the way, which would be a way of letting everyone know that the Wendo Cleanup Man had returned to the scene.
Ding!
As soon as the elevator doors opened, the insectoid soldiers eagerly squeezed out, but Huo Kexiao remained standing inside.
"Hocosh! What are you thinking?! You're not planning to betray Section Chief Landon, are you?"
"Look at you, you're such a wimp. The section chief is right. The idea of a minister of commoners is all ancient history. We need to look forward now."
Huo Kexiao frowned as he looked at the notice that had suddenly appeared in his hand, and felt a jolt in his heart. "Did you guys see how this notice appeared just now?"
As he raised the black and gold card, the disgruntled insectoid soldiers were all stunned, since the thing was still glowing.
It contained three simple sentences.
[To Huo Kexiao]
We will steal your heart today.
Sincerely, Library

Chapter 289: Copying Book Pages.
A soft golden light flashed, and Du Jue appeared on the pale gold floor with Yuli. He suppressed the pounding in his heart and looked up to see a huge bookshelf that looked like rolling hills.
"W-what is this place?!"
Yuri was quite surprised when she came to the library from her hotel room.
Yuri gripped Du Jue's clothes tightly, only to find a blue-haired woman with an expressionless face staring at her.
Holding a large brown book, Angela explained succinctly to her, then looked at Du Jue, "Is this your new secretary? Judging from her performance just now, she's not qualified."
“She’s from the branch of Company L and is currently unemployed. I happen to need an assistant.” Du Jue, rubbing his temples, suppressed his dizziness and said, “I get dizzy and nauseous whenever I get excited. I guess I overexerted myself earlier.”
“I see. Why don’t you just stay in the library? It’s a place that connects to the mirror world, and you can easily find the location of the target’s consciousness.”
Angela wanted to help Du Jue, but after glancing at Yuri beside her, she gave up.
The huge bookshelf to the right of the three of them naturally turned into an exit, through which they could clearly see the barbershop outside, where Huo Kexiao was getting a haircut.
Despite her strong doubts, Yuri quickly moved closer to Du Jue in order to keep her job. "Lord Wen Duo, the person in the barbershop is the same insect-man who delivered money to the restaurant before."
Angela explained, "Going out leads to the world in the mirror, but of course I won't let you do all the work alone. The scribes also need to contribute according to the transaction plan."
Snapped!
Angela snapped her fingers, and the library environment transformed.
Orange-yellow pendant lights, like stars, extend down from the ceiling and the bookshelves on the surrounding walls, while the previously deserted passageway now reveals employees organizing books and Michelle with her arms crossed in front of her.
The sign clearly indicates the literary section.
